As someone who finds real joy in exploring food and celebrating flavor, I walked into Restaurant Tre Colori in Chambly hoping for a cozy, satisfying Italian meal. What I experienced instead was a masterclass in how not to run a restaurant, one where profit seems to come before pride and food is treated more like a transaction than a craft.
We ordered a Vegeteriana Pizza and an Alfredo Penne Pasta to share among three. Not long after placing the order, our server informed us, after the fact, that there would be a $10 charge just for sharing food. The logic? Still unclear. Faced with this absurd policy, we reluctantly ordered a fried calamari appetizer, priced at $20.
What arrived was, frankly, inexcusable. The calamari had a heavy, unpleasant odor of overused oil and a chew that was tough enough to question its freshness. Worse still, it carried a fishy aftertaste that made us genuinely uncomfortable about its safety. We returned the plate since it felt unhygienic and careless.
Then came the pizza. A good pizza should be a celebration, a balance of crisp crust, vibrant toppings, and aroma that pulls you in. What we got was a soggy, limp pie with all the texture of a wet paper towel. It lacked any of the bright acidity or savory depth that gives pizza its personality.
And the Alfredo Penne Pasta? A white, creamy disappointment. It didn’t taste like Alfredo, not even close. The penne was undercooked and swimming in bland dairy without a hint of garlic, cheese, or seasoning. It was as if someone had poured cream over half-cooked pasta and called it a day.
We did eat some of the food, enough to be sure it wasn’t getting any better, and then stopped, frustrated and unsatisfied. We paid full price for a meal that, by any honest culinary standard, had no business leaving the kitchen.
The only bright spot was our server, who was kind and attentive despite everything.
Tre Colori feels like a place that preys on unsuspecting visitors rather than welcoming them with care. The bizarre $10 sharing fee, the lackluster food, and the indifference to quality make it clear. This is a tourist trap dressed up as an Italian restaurant.

Read moreThe quality of the pizza is absolutely horrendous and continues to disappoint as the years go on. The price is ludicrous for both the quality and quantity of food being served. The pizzas are top heavy, soaked in grease and the dough is consistently, inconsistent. The crust too thin or in this case way too thick and the bottom was paper thin that we had to use forks and knives to eat it.
If you call the owner and tell him you're unsatisfied and want to show him proof of how bad the pizza was, he doesn't care and offers you free pizza instead. After this particularly bad order we spoke to another employee that threw the delivery guy under the bus and blamed him for the poor quality of the pizza because of his fast driving (having already been waiting nearly an hour for the pizza, what's the rush?) and then bluntly told us to "make your own pizza at home if you're not happy with what we make and deliver to you".
It's safe to say we won't be ordering from them until they learn to take responsibility for their poor customer service, poorly made pizzas and...
Read moreWent there for the lunch with my little family and we paid 160$ for 4 which is almost 40$ per person. Which is quite expensive considering that we have 2 kids. We order 2 starters (fried Squid, and Salad) and 4 main dish (2 pizza, a Lemoncillo Veal and Alfredo pasta) . When the Calamary arrived, the calamary were so dry and so hard that it feel like the calamary were dried for so long and they fried it. My son did not even eat it after few bite where he could not cut it.. we did not even finished the plate. The salad was ok. Veal was ok.. nothing great or justifying this price. The pasta with the veal was dried, too salty and did not feel fresh at all. the pizza, ,mm where to start.. cheese on it is way too much, and doesn't seems to be mozzarella cheese.. more like chemical cheese, the pizza are very oily and the dought was like a bread..but panned? or fried? but our experience was not as expected.. not really recommend this but this is our taste, for sure will not go back there. (remember being their at the take out little shop and it was good...
